- Heads Up: The paper envelopes are delicate, so store them away from moisture and strong smells.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Lavender House B&B in Stow-on-the-Wold, a popular spot in the Cotswolds, decided to upgrade their in-room amenities. They moved away from a standard catering tea to Clipper to better reflect their commitment to local, quality, and sustainable produce.
"The feedback was almost immediate. Guests started mentioning the lovely tea in their online reviews! It's a small detail, but it shows we care, and it aligns perfectly with the premium experience we want to offer."
Robert Finch – Proprietor
The switch contributed to a noticeable uplift in positive guest reviews that specifically mentioned the quality of in-room facilities.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Storage & Setup
- Find a cool, dry cupboard for storage, away from direct sunlight.
- Keep the box sealed and away from strong odours like coffee beans or spices to protect the delicate flavour.
- For service, display the envelopes in a dedicated tea caddy or presentation box for a professional touch.
Brewing & Serving
- For the perfect cup, always use fresh, boiling water poured directly over the bag.
- Allow the tea to brew for 2-4 minutes to let the full flavour develop.
- Suggest serving with a slice of lemon or a splash of milk to suit your customer's preference.
- The bag, tag, and paper envelope are all recyclable or compostable, so dispose of them responsibly.

Explore more from ClipperMore Than a Logo: What 'Unbleached & Plastic-Free' Really Means
Ever wondered what's actually in a teabag? Many standard bags are sealed with polypropylene (a plastic) and are bleached with chlorine, which can leave trace elements behind. Clipper takes a different path. Their 'unbleached' bags have a natural, off-white colour because they haven't been treated with harsh chemicals, ensuring a purer, cleaner taste. Plus, being 'plastic-free' means they are made from plant-based materials and are fully biodegradable and compostable. Think of it like this: you wouldn't wrap a fresh, organic salad in a plastic bag to cook it, so why brew your organic tea in one? It’s a small change that makes a big difference to the taste and the planet.
